The Emirati airline, Emirates, has a reputation of being one of the best airlines in the world. With their hub in Dubai in the Middle East, the airline can reach every corner of the world making Dubai the ideal stopover for many travellers propelling Emirates to a global leader in passenger air travel. Despite their reputation however, they have had one fatal accident. And this of course depends how you want to define such statistic. But on August 3rd, 2016, an Emirates Boeing 777 crashed at Dubai and so far, has been the only recorded hull loss of an Emirates plane.

Another unknown aviation rule when evacuating. If a person is blocking you from exiting a plane that is on fire, it is perfectly acceptable to drop kick and or punch that person.

[@grmpEqweer]

You should definitely use force to get compliance at that point.

[@henryptung]

Honestly, it'd be a bit in-your-face as a rule, but maybe triggering an evacuation should also auto-lock all the luggage compartments.

[@GeoffreyGodshall]

As a pilot, I cannot fathom not having your hand physically on the throttles. Especially when they knew it would be a challenging landing. Very strange, this one.

[@30769s]

I was thinking the same thing. I'm a student pilot and I will never think about taking off or landing without my hand or my CFIs hand on the throttle. They probably put too much trust into the plane. (Little Boeing vs Airbus joke here) they probably was flying it like an Airbus not a Boeing so they actually had to fly the plane not give a computer commands

[@mizzyroro]

As a 27 year flight simulator pilot I concur. Additionally I cannot fathom neither pilot particularly the F.O. not noticing that the spoilers deployed, keeping an eye on the airspeed and not noticing the throttles. Both pilots can't have their heads down. We rely too much on automation. Why press the TOGA button in a critical situation like this when you need power immediately? I would have shoved those levers forward. There should be a rule that on go around you firewall the throttles. No need to be thinking of saving engines when saving lives is the risk. Shocking.

[@LighthouseCape]

It's purely a miracle that the evac took *7 MINUTES* and somehow, everybody onboard made it out even though the plane exploded shortly after that. Those idiots who tries to take their whole suitcase with them while in emergency has to be prosecuted for an attempted murder or something of other passengers...

[@joelsterling1445]

I can see 90 seconds or 2 minutes but SEVEN MINUTES? WTF

[@philidor9657]

That’s not attempted murder but if something happened it could be some sort of negligent manslaughter, or some sort of negligence at least…as long as there was a safety brief that included evacuation rules. But yeah, seven minutes is fucking insane. That is genuinely such a long time like count out seven minutes then imagine being in a burning plane. Do people have no sense of self preservation? What is in your briefcase that is worth sticking around a PLANE ON FIRE for more than absolutely necessary?

Kudos for not only having to name the city Thiruvananthapuram, but for absolutely nailing it 👍 It is so sad that life was lost, even when luck had been on people's sides until then.

[@lbowsk]

At 10:45 - There is a mistake in the video's explanation. And this mistake is what caused the crash. It wasn't wind-shear, it wasn't the high temps, none of it. When the captain pushed the G/A switch he failed to manually increase thrust. Retired now and I forget why, but the AutoThrottle(s) on a B777 is temporarily disabled for a short period of time (aircraft below 35 feet as I recall) during the flare in a B777 on every landing. Every B777 pilot at my airline knows this. And every B777 pilot at my old airline was/is tested and checked on this. I suspect that most B777 pilots around the globe know this. They certainly do NOW after this accident. This guy, however, did not. It sounds to me as though he was used to the magic flying the jet, not the pilot. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that this happened. So, the accident must fall squarely on his shoulders. "Going around....TOGA....Flaps 20/CHECK THRUST...Positive Rate...Gear Up....Check Missed Approach Altitude". It's one slow continuous call with short pauses to allow and ensure that the NonFlyingPilot backs up every task. Think of it as a verbal DO-THIS-LIST and follow up checklist. "Check Thrust" emphasizes the power MUST be properly set for the Go-Around maneuver and in the case of the 777, acknowledges that the Auto Throttles MAY NOT add thrust at that moment). It also synchronizes the pilots at that moment. It's busy, and its compressed but it's not impossible and it is practiced and evaluated on every check ride. It's not difficult if the crew is well trained, proficient, prepared, and experienced. And that's what you pay for when you buy that expensive ticket. Not the blue bird, light wind easy legs. For when the crew needs to deal effectively while the feces is impinging the fan blades. It was his job to add thrust after he selected Go-Around. It's in the book. It was likely on his check ride. It was on mine. Other than that, pretty accurate video. His decision to go around, though late in my view - was reasonable. But his performance during the actual maneuver was unsat. Either he hand flew the maneuver or the auto-pilot flew it. When hit the GA button on the throttle the Flight Director commands NOSE UP and WINGS LEVEL. The plane pitched up without a corresponding increase in thrust. So, it settled back to the runway. His FO should have backed him up on the throttles and ensured that he pushed them up as well. That's the way it works at Brand X, and since its in the Boeing manual I suspect that's the way it works at every airline that flies the 777. I can see why they both lost their jobs. A guy died and a perfectly good 777 burnt up on the runway. That's some pretty lousy, yet effective advertising! After all, if they're firing the "Emirati" they've got to let the Aussie go as well, right? Hey, if you're bored....look up the stunt they pulled on Dec 28, 2021. Flight 231. There's a video on that one too. That will open your eyes WIDE. And the hellishly bad crosswind landing vid of one of their A380s as well. "Fly Emirates" ??? Not me ;)

[@lbowsk]

@@rogerkearns8094 Hey, I don't know how to make videos, so I give this guy a lot of credit. Most of it is explained very well. When landing one of these things a LOT of stuff happens over a very short time span. And that's on a normal bluebird day. And during lousy visibility approaches, even more stuff happens. It's very difficult to explain to laymen without taking 30 mins. The float is what got him. That plane is capable of landing in an incredibly short distance. But it's GOT to be on the runway for this to happen. It has 12 HUGE wheel brakes and with Auto-Brakes is got amazing stopping capability even before you open the reversers. But if it's floating above the runway it's eating up real estate at a prodigious pace and barely decelerating. According to the vid, he spent 11 seconds in the flare? That's FOREVER at 125-135 knots and could easily eat up half of the runway. He should have gone around sooner, that can surely be debated. But, without adding trust when he hit TOGA all he did was change the Flight Director to display a pitch up to TOGA and wings level (or NAV). Not much else. Then he pitched the planes now up...how the hell he didn't feel that he had NO thrust astonishes me. That plane has huge engines and GOES RIGHT NOW when you add G/A thrust. The low-slung engines create a significant nose-up pitch when you add a lot of thrust. You hear it, you feel it. I cannot understand how they missed that part. I commented because oftentimes these reenactments miss an essential detail and then John Q Public goes off in the comments spewing uninformed BS. Then the next guy jumps in and pretty soon everyone thinks they're Dan Gryder or Johnny NTSB. They're usually wrong. Flying a 172 does not qualify you to fly an airliner, particularly one with a complicated FMS. Could you hold it straight and level? Sure. But there's often a lot going on that your average Private Pilot does not understand or appreciate. I am not trying to belittle, just to explain. Bored in a hotel while on an overnight someplace boring. Peace out.

Southwest is another one where fatalities are sort of weird. The first incident where anyone was killed was when they overran a runway and ended up crushing a few cars even though everyone on the plane was fine. Then the second was with the uncontained engine failure when a passenger was killed by the opening in the fuselage. One could argue the third incident almost doesn't count since there was a plane that hit someone running around on the airfield and the pilots just barely saw him and didn't have any time to react. So they've never had a physical accident that resulted in the death of a passenger, it's just been a few unfortunate incidents.

Unfortunately, having flown Emirates for almost 3 years into Saudi, I can say that I have seen the behaviour of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi passengers first hand. The plane would touch down, and while taxiing, they would already get up and start grabbing their bags and start crowding the isles. On numerous occasions when the brakes were applied they would "Domino" and fall down. So I can understand that they would attempt to grab their stuff instead of getting TF off the plane in an emergency. For some of those guys, those are likely their only worldly possessions and they will be working like slaves, for slave wages in the Arab countries. I can understand their reluctance to evacuate without their stuff, as that is all they have.

I am an Indian and you are absolutely correct. They dont even care about the seat belt. Just after touchdown everyone stands like the movie is over and they dont want to get stuck in queue or traffic. Also, they travel with more than one bag.

@@randomrexy2135 ahh i see.. i was thinking of deploying the speed brakes only in the course of events of this accident, however for general aviation where "floats" are not uncommon, a procedure of deploying the speed brakes would be far riskier than selecting a go around manoeuvre. thank you

[@JuanCarlosCoreaBarrios]

There is a switch in the landing gear that prevents the speed brakes from deploying unless there is weight on the wheels, meaning airplane on the ground.

[@JohnDoeWasntTaken]

The speedbrakes usually don't deploy until the wheels touch down, you can still deploy them manually in the air but float is not a problem that is solved with drag (unless you are going way too fast, in which case you should go around). In such a situation you solve the problem by easing backwards pressure (or applying forward pressure) off the yoke to get the nose down and get rid of altitude, hard landings are actually safe landings in the aviation world since they get the wheels on the ground ASAP. So fear of a hard landing just makes float worse since the safest solution to the problem is by getting the wheels on the ground as fast as possible within reason.

I can assure you, if a plane im in crash lands and things are on fire, if some moron is trying to get a bag and blocking me, they would be on the floor and im stepping over them and their bag

[@mohitchauhan6153]

This is why I say UAE is a hypocrite.. they did not name emarati pilot. But named Australian pilot

[@zayedalshamsi7321]

maybe they didn't name both and the other went and made interviews in the press

[@sr20trx]

Thankyou for the video 👍 We were at Heathrow waiting for an Emirates flight to Dubai then Perth on this day, when I saw this news come up on my phone, it caused chaos at Heathrow and Dubai, our flight never left Heathrow that day, instead we were put up in a big hotel for the night with free diner and breakfast. Flew out the next morning but Dubai was still inundated with passengers not being able to travel due to missed flights, lots of waiting and frustration at Dubai lots of passengers started getting very angry and chanting loudly for action at Emirates lack of staff and communication as some had been there 24hrs+ (we waited in the airport for 12 to 18hrs) We managed to organise a flight to Perth although the 4 of us were scattered among the plane which was not ideal for the kids and our bags were sent to Japan...took about 2 or 3 days to get home. I never did know the full story of what happened and am sorry to hear about the firefighter so Thankyou again for the video 👍

[@ChelleC33]

Thank you… I never quite understood what happened here from reading AVHerald, but I can visualise it, now.

[@davesmith5656]

I don't see how you get an increase in air speed when the wind shifts from a tail wind to a head wind.

[@JuanCarlosCoreaBarrios]

The aircraft instruments measure airspeed as the speed relative to the surrounding air, so if you have a head wind you add that speed to the airplane's own. Flying against a headwind subtracts from your groundspeed, which is usually not important in the takeoff and landing phase.

[@lorenzmaywald506]

why didn't the auto throttle give more power to the engines in the TOGA-mode though?

[@refutonefandus]

The aircraft had pitched up too far. That caused the autothrottle to disengage to prevent a stall. Too fast of a climb at too low of a speed = stall and drop.

[@MrSchwabentier]

@@refutonefandus sorry, but thats incorrect. The aircraft never pitched up more than 10degrees during the attempted go around, so well within limits. Problem simply was that the TOGA mode becomes inoperable once the aircraft touched down. So in this case the pilots would have to apply thrust manually.

[@erwina4738]

@@MrSchwabentier ^correct

[@resolutzen714]

They should have a system that locks all overhead compartments during an emergency. To prevent people from trying to retrieve their belongings.

[@DanWhe]

That would add weight and additional programming and complexity, an unnecessary cost for something that is statistically never required.

[@Marcus-cc72]

People would still stop and try to get it open. It’s an awareness problem not a mechanical one sadly.

[@sharoncassell5273]

Such a basic mistake but seems to happen more than you think in go around. I think since it's such a sudden transition from landing mode. Startle effect. Pilots forget steps like changing configuration of flaps & throttle on going around. When we flew Cessnas touch n' Goes & go around seemed so simple but for some reason in jets it seems to be more complicated and error some. Tailwinds help to ruin your perfectly planned landing execution. Keep up the good work alert pilots.

[@fra93ilgrande]

Passengers in this flight be like: “another happy landing” 😂 👌

[@steve3291]

BA2276 at Las Vegas was the same. You can see photographs of the passengers walking away with their bags whilst the aircraft was burning 🤦‍♂ I am a Manchester lad and I remember British Airtours 28M - I'm getting off the plane and that's it! Stuff my toiletries.

[@Velocity8842]

I’m so happy this dude called it the triple 7 instead of the seven seven seven or this video would be hell

[@psane]

only hull loss of 777? What about British Airways 38, Asiana air 214, MH370 and MH17?

[@danielabackstrom]

The only hull loss for Emirates...

Lovely video!

Wait a minute, the captain was only 34yrs old and been with the airline for 15yrs?!!

Entitled Emirati goes straight from flight school to flying these beasts, then fast tracked to captain.

2:15 pretty sure that took 218 takes :D

Wow!!! That is amazing that everyone on board lived. RIP to the fire fighter that gave his own life to save so many. It was the captains fault but it was an honest mistake so I'm not going to sit here and dog on him all day. We learned from it and that made it an even safer way of efficient travel.🛫 ✈ 🛬 🛫 ✈ 🛬

So, piloting an aircraft is not like riding a camel?

[@foxtrot_delta3042]

Emirates almost had a high fatality accident a few months back. Screw up by the aircrew and crazy that it was allowed to continue flying all the way to the US after potential damage to tires and flaps.

[@LeolaGlamour]

Um 😐 so you’re saying 1 incidents out of the 100s of flights they do a day equals should never fly to the us?! Are you crazy?

Plane crashes and someone is clogging the aisle to get their bag.....sorry but Im going to knock you down and step over you. You can get you bag after the people who want to live have exited the plane.

Enjoy your week off :D Thanks for the great video!

[@sonnysolomon1756]

the emirates captain name was not divulged but only the 1st officer's name.

[@kcsnew]

Very well explained about this crash

[@SwordQuake2]

So what actually happened? Was TOGA pressed, was it initiated? What did the report say? Normally you say those things.

[@hayleyxyz]

So why didn't TOGA increase thrust? Is it because the wheels had touched the ground? I always thought TOGA can be initiated anytime before reversers are deployed

[@MrSchwabentier]

Thats what the pilots thought too. But thats not how it works. If the landing gear untilts for a certain amount of time (wheels on the ground) TO/GA is no longer operable. SO this was either pilots mistake or poor training by Emirates

[@mariancounsellor]

There wasn’t enough power and everything that needed to operate at certain times couldn’t. It would be like a BMX bike going down a hill at full speed and then the rider trying to brake and reverse.. impossible! They left it too late.

[@amberrodriguez851]

I was scared of landing before this… but now? 😂 I don’t think I’m ever going to fly again! Thanks for the upload! I love these videos! They’re so intriguing!

Pilots fault. Partly Emirates, pointed at poor training.

hi disaster breakdown !question is flying an aircraft is it easy peasy job or very dificult task?secondly can u inquire about a gulfair flight which was bound for karachi to abudhabi but crashed in jebel ali mena area in september 1983 a first class passenger never borded on this why there is no name of him if photos were not available back then?

[@tld8102]

why was the captain’s name redacted?

[@LycanWitch]

there really needs to be locks on the carryon luggage storage.. it's annoying enough when midflight a passenger gets up to retrieve their carryon to dig crap out of it, often annoying or bumping the passengers around them... and then especially these emergency situations when you hear about people retrieving luggage.. if it's just the norm and passengers know the luggage compartments are locked during a flight and are still locked during an emergency, would be so much better for other passengers.. less annoyance and less instances of morons blocking the emergency escape of passengers. Also prob to the chagrin of flight attendants.. when the plane lands, the seatbelt light is still on, as the plane is still taxiing to the terminal, those moronic passengers who get up and begin opening the overhead bins to grab their bags.. so a flight attendant controlled locking system would be great to prevent all these negative scenarios..

Imagine this event taking place when Dubai had only One runway operating

[@antonyhilton]

Many on that plane were expat workers working in Dubai, for them passport is worth more than life cause their visas are on their passport, if they lose their passport they could also lose their visa and have to return home jobless. A jobless pravasi is treated by their family as a useless person. So most of them sadly rather lose their life rather than lose their documents and jobs, hence they started taking out they bags containing their documents and work laptops. I worked in Dubai and I know how integral our passport is.
